My dog vomited, is lethargic, and won't come out. When to see vet?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | 45 lbs

Dog (~2 year old husky mix) vomited large amount. Started as partially digested food then turned to white foam as she continued. Became very lethargic and is laying in crate and won't come out. How long should I wait before taking her to vet? She was fine all day until about 11pm

It sounds as Gracie is suffering from a gastrointestinal condition, possibly an infection. it could also be due to ingestion of a foreign body material. i would recommend taking her to the vet the first chance you get, she will need to be checked first, if the vet thinks it's a simple gastrointestinal infection she will need an anti vomiting injection, antibiotics and a special food for a few days in order to get better.
